  • Fespire or Astiva??

    As in "front end swap." Has anyone ever tried to fit the more aerodynamic front end sheetmetal and nose of an Aspire onto a Festiva?

    I once saw an old Fiat 131 on the freeway. I swear it had a 128 front end. Or was it vice-versie? I can't remember, but it was a real chop & weld job.

    Would an Aspire front clip attach to a Festiva? Could it work without looking like Dr. Frankenstein did it?

    We have a member who fitted a Focus front bumper fascia onto his Festiva. What about the same thing with an Aspire front bumper cover?

    Ideas or comments?

    i've always been a fan of front end swaps (like a cavelier front end bolts onto a sunfire and vise-versa) so i would think it would be cool to see it but i doubt they would just bolt on

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

      the fenders are longer as well as the hood - I've thought about this my self but you would have to also rework the down rails as well but with a good welder it could be done
